Bi-folding shopfronts fitted in Birmingham
Bi-folding shopfronts in Birmingham start from about £5,200 plus VAT for a standard opening, with a free survey and a written quotation before anything is ordered.
In Birmingham and nearby, a surveyor measures the unit before anything is priced which is how the bi-folding shopfronts end up the right size.
Price guide
The entry price is about £5,200 plus VAT. The real figure comes from the survey measurements. Once issued, the price is fixed for 90 days unless the specification changes.
How long it takes
Allow 4-5 weeks after drawing sign-off from drawings to delivery. The install itself rarely takes more than two days for a standard opening. If you cannot close, we can work outside trading hours.
What gets fitted
Folding the whole frontage back turns the glass line into open trading space, so pavement seating reads as part of the room. Common specifications: leaves stack neatly to one or both sides; low-profile threshold when open.
